After about 30 minutes of operation, the navigation screen freezes and says "Program memory is very low", requiring a hard reset. Any ideas?

Make sure all your connections are connected correctly and be sure that your antenna is in the right location and seated in the unit. If that doesn't work check to see that your GPS card is seated correctly in the slot on the lower right hand side, in front, of the unit. If you still have problems you may have to return the unit for a replacement.

I personally returned mine after it froze ten minutes into playing around with the functions, and bought another player with the refund.If you haven't already, you should hold the reset button for ~10 seconds (as opposed to just pressing it) and see if that does anything, like commutergirl suggested.Also, maybe double-check to see that it was plugged in properly for charging? Sometimes USB ports can be weird.In any case, good luck! I hope it's just a temporary thing and that it works soon for you!

Mine started to freeze and then kept on. At first I was able to hard reset, that stopped working then I tried I hit the outside reset (Pinhole button on the side), it didn't work. I only had it for two weeks. Snowy screen constantly. So I returned it.

I don't have that problem. Can you try and restart in safe mode, and see if that makes a difference? As I recall, I did delete quite a few items that were automatically loaded at startup.That may help.

@Benjamin Augustine: I was having the 1 second recording problem, too. I followed your instructions to reformat the internal memory, and it did the trick. Thank you so much for sharing that!

I suggest you return it immediately, or just back it up and throw it away. Mine crashed without warning a few years ago and I lost thousands of dollars worth of information.

I don't know, but it could be a simple software problem. Just restore the program using tomtom's free software and that should get rid of the issue.

Never had that kind of problem, would suggest going thru Menu and search for functions. Sorry can not be of help.

Just bought a new 855 and installed the software updates (to version 4.70) before using it. Then, about 1.5 hours into its first trip, the unit froze. I just sent a help request to Garmin, and am anxious to see what they say.

I haven't had that experience, but I am having trouble with the 64 gig memory. I have windows 8 and Office 365 installed and I am out of storage space. Get wierd freezes and messages pretty often now. No way to upgrade the storage either, as far as I know.

I've had this computer for about 3 months and haven't had this problem (or any problem for that matter)... What have you downloaded recently? Maybe a program or something you downloaded caused this. Worst case scenario, used "system restore" to reset the computer back to a certain time when the problem didn't exist

Not totally sure But it's possible you activated the Autoprogram feature. Tried resetting it?

My 855 is also running the latest firmware, ver 4.7 from 12/28/2009, but still freezes. I have only owned Garmin's since my first GPS in 2003, but this is the first one with such severe freezing problems.

Yes...after I sent the laptop back and they fixed the operating system it streams fine....it still locks up every once in a while but I think that's. Microsoft.....

Yes. The memory is partitioned weird and there is only 788 mb for apps. Matricom is working on a "fix". Check the forums at matricom.net There was an update released recently but there are problems with it at the moment.

Mine is not letting store in the memory.... I can hold the arrow for minutes and it just beeps, does not give me the M to save it :(

I had a screen freeze up that was not resolved until I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers!! If you have the issue, google it, chances are someone else has had the same issue!!
